Picking up three orange blimps for winning in the categories - Favourite Voice from an Animated Movie, Favourite Animated Movie and #Squad - the television host used the opportunity to remind the mostly pint-sized audience that being different is A-OK.

"It means the most to me that you would want to be in my squad. That, to me, is the biggest compliment that I would win #Squad," DeGeneres said on Saturday in Los Angeles.

"So here's what I would like to do because I would like for you to be in my squad. I would like everyone to take an oath so that you can be in my squad. Raise your left hand. No, I'm sorry. Raise your right hand. Raise them both. And just repeat after me...

"I am good enough just as I am," DeGeneres shared as all the kids followed along. "I am supposed to be unique and different. I'm not supposed to be like everyone else. I promise to be kind to people. I promise to brush my teeth every day and floss.

"... And watch The Ellen Show every single day. I love you all. You're in my squad!" she concluded.

Blac Chyna (real name Angela Ren??e White) attended the awards in a matching white shirt and blue jeans ensemble with son King, four, who she shares with her ex-fiance Tyga - Kylie Jenner's current boyfriend. She walked the red carpet solo after recently splitting with the father of her four-month-old daughter Dream, Rob Kardashian, who also happens to be Kylie's half-brother.

Mariah Carey, ex-husband Nick Cannon, and their twins Monroe and Moroccan, five, also got the memo to coordinate their looks. Carey matched with Monroe in a black-and-white Adidas tracksuit minidress and Sophia Webster shoes, while Cannon and Moroccan wore orange, sleeveless, hooded sweatshirts and matching shorts.

The awards, best-known and loved for covering celebrities in green slime, this year targeted Demi Lovato, Chris Pratt, Kevin Hart, and John Cena.
